    Absolutely beautiful, Eliza. Do I detect a favourite colour here? 🙂

    I like how the Columbine, allium and clematis pick up the lavender and dark red of the fern!

    All that beauty, Eliza! Lovely. I enlarged them and looked at them all.

      Hi Lisa! Nice to see you here, I was thinking about you just the other day, wondering how you and your garden were doing. Glad you liked my post today, many thanks. 🙂

    How beautiful! Number 3 and the last are my favorites, but they are all especially lovely. I’ve been buy planting, more silk floss trees, more mitilija poppies, and more David Austin roses which were hard to get. The iris are going to be wonderful this year.

    Gosh, this made me smile. I was especially taken with the lemon chiffon iris.

    Beautiful! I wish I could grow that Geum – and that Geranium. Both are iffy here…

      Thank you, Kris! I wonder if Geranium macrorrhizum would be a possibility? Its thick roots make it pretty drought tolerant and just a sip of water brings them right back from wilt.

    The slideshow wouldn’t work for me (in the WP Reader) so I was able to sit back, relax, breathe and examine each photo without the distraction of wondering what the flower was, what’s its name, will it grow here…a revelation! They’re all beautiful – thanks for sharing!

      Thank you, Judy. How was your trip north? The weather is dampening the plans of all the holiday makers, it seems, but I love it. I need the rest. 😉

    So much beauty here, Eliza. ❤ The painted fern is gorgeous and mesmerizing. I had to look it up, to see how it would do here. It might be okay, but I suspect it would do better in NE Ohio where it's not quite as hot.

    • Eliza Waters's avatar Eliza Waters says:
      May 30, 2021 at 10:46 am

      Thank you, Robin. It really is more of woods plant as opposed to coastal, but if you had a nice shady place under the pines, it might do well.

    What a beautiful variety…I’ve tried many different times…slide show doesn’t work…what’s the top right with yellow…and the peachy, under the iris?

    It’s a beautiful collection, Eliza. The iris is my favorite: not because I’m currently iris-focused, but because of its color. Lemon chiffon pie yellow is my favorite yellow. When I get my fantasy house, I’ll have dove gray walls, white woodwork, and exactly that color yellow accents. Save a few of those iris for my housewarming!

    I enjoyed all of these. There is something so traditional about a bearded iris, and I like the little geranium (I have not seen this species before). And the mention of the geum suddenly reminded me of a quirk of my British grandfather – when I was a kid if I asked him the name of a flower and he didn’t know, he would usually say in a cheerful yet deadpan kind of way “well it looks to me most likely to be a geum”. It was always nice to share the unacknowledged joke 🙂

      Thanks, Carol. Fun memory of your grandfather. Mine was a gardener as well and provided my earliest garden memory– burgundy and white Sweet William. Always think of him when I see one.

      • naturebackin's avatar naturebackin says:
        June 5, 2021 at 2:27 pm

        That is a lovely association, and reminds me that my grandfather also loved the “pinks” that he grew – such a charming and old-fashioned group of plants.

    If that kind of Clematis were native here, I’d be making portraits of it.
